I'm loving this music. It's very Beat, which I've been getting into. Just got a copy of the "How To Speak Hip" LP (but I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet). Dig the vibe.

@modchick: I love How to Speak Hip. After I got into it I heard a Pet Sounds session recording where Brian talks about how much he likes it and I felt very validated :D

@Bronwyn Bishop - I heard a track somewhere, and I LOVED it. It's been on my wishlist for a while and I finally picked it up. So so good. There's also a booklet in the LP that I'm eager to check out. Should be fun. So glad to hear that you think it's awesome... I was hoping I wouldn't be disappointed!

Last Saturday during the Kinks-sing-along in The Victoria Pub in London to our surprise Ray Davies walked in! The band (fans) immediatley started to play All of my friends were there (from the Village Green Preservation Society).

Guess what guys, I'm in my first real job post-college and I've been spending the last month putting together this massive board dinner and subsequent meeting involving hotel arrangements, several multi course meals, a minibus and taxis, decorations, musical entertainment, and all this other stuff and it's finally DONE with SIX DAYS TO SPARE! Also I managed to organize all the office closets which were in a total state of disrepair! Sorry to brag but I had to tell somebody!!! It's a great Friday!!!

Sophie Tucker: I was in the woods last night with my boyfriend Ernie. Ernie: Soph, these woods sure are dark, I wish I had a flashlight. Sophie: So do I, Ernie, you've been munching grass for the last 10 minutes.

I could never decide if Marina was good. She's no VV Brown. I like Mowgli's Way

That Ellie Greenwich song is also on what's probably the best girl group compilation: the Rhino-4CD Girl Group Sounds Lost And Found / One Kiss Can Lead To Another. Packed in a round powder box!

I don't smoke, but I think Cigarettes After Sex is a great band name. My (hobby) band was called Stranded, and ofcourse that's what we did. CAX sounds a bit like Nouvelle Vague

This is so lovely! I'm a sucker for slow versions of big bombastic songs. Trespassers William's take on Ride's Vapor Trail is another in this vein.

hi, djsheilab and all those digging. amazing how even a cover of a song can transport one back in time. in that case for me, to feelings of adolescent angst and the ecstasy of slow dances...

Peter Cetera is another one of those "voice doesn't match the face/person" people.

Aw, wow! Thanks for the dedication, Sheila! We actually wrote Oxford Comma on their FB page to tell them you played them on your show a couple weeks ago. They were psyched! x

When I heard Space guitar by Young John Watson, I realised why he got this extra name Guitar. I mean: this was in 1954! Why didn't this track receive more credits? It's one of the best instrumentals ever made.

Sheila your notes for One Kiss Can Lead to Another were invaluable to my editing this wiki page:en.wikipedia.org...
and I can't recommend Kirsten Zemke highly enough either... she's a pop culture maven as much as a musicologist...

Can your continued, over the top championing of the Alan Parsons Project actually be some sly Andy Kaufman-esque performance art routine? Because, after 40 years, I'm still not hearing it in the grooves.

Here is it! “There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others”

Carmichael - the ignominious venue in the burg of Big Flats, NY (it's on the 2001 concert T's, I just confirmed) I interviewed Todd the week or so before for my daily paper arts editor gig.

Thanks for the quote in print. But I will also save it as an MP3: Martha Graham's quote by Sheila B

I have mainly been a late night WFMU listener from here in Tucson, AZ.
Today, I turned on the stream at work on a whim and I am really diggin' your show.
Keep up the great music! Thanks

just noticed that dedication to the FDA. let's see if they do the same good work for kratom.
